The diffusion and reception of the ideas of economic liberalism in Greece during the period 1828-1837

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the existence of an economic literature in
Greece, and the diffusion of economic ideas in the country from its establishment in 1828 until
the foundation of the first Chair of Economics in 1837. These attempts of the diffusion of these
ideas came either from Corais' circle in Paris or from the Principalities by Danube. Their
common characteristic is that both attempts provided Jean Baptiste Say's works.
